Heights are a typical guide. Your own inseam matters most, so go by it if your legs run longer or shorter: measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". How to measure
Maximum stretch, so most women size down one from their usual department store size.
Two quick questions and we'll pick your length and size. You can still change either one.
Crossed out means sold out in that length. Tap it to get an alert when it is back.
Between sizes? Size down for a more fitted, still comfortable look. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too; they will be a bit more fitted.
Rise runs 11 1/4" in size 3 and 13 1/8" in size 18W.
How to measure your inseam
One minute and a tape measure. This number matters more than your height.
- Stand straight, barefoot, feet slightly apart.
- Hold the tape at your crotch and run it down the inside of your leg.
- Stop at your ankle bone. That number is your inseam.
- Lay them flat and smooth out the legs.
- Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg.
- Stop at the hem.
Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". Many women like a little extra length, especially with shoes.

Fit & Fabric
Fit Note: Size down with maximum stretch. Most customers find this runs larger than their usual department store jeans size. For example, if you are typically a waist size 26 in Levi's, you should get a waist size 25 in The Rae.
Shopping boutique brands? Most customers prefer the same size as their usual boutique size. If you wear a size 5 in Judy Blue, you will wear a size 5 in The Rae.

Questions women ask us
Straight answers from our fit team.
Will the Rae gap in the back?
No. The Rae has a hidden elastic back waistband that moves with you, so it stays snug at the back without gapping.
Do the Rae jeans have an elastic waist?
Yes, in the back only. Hidden stretch elastic in the back waistband lets the denim move with you, and the front has a classic button and zipper for a polished look.
What do the Rae jeans feel like?
Like your most comfortable lounge pants. The ultra soft stretch denim has a broken in feel and a soft, terry like inside, but it is real, structured denim that holds its shape.
Are the Rae jeans good for hot weather or travel?
Yes. They are a lightweight denim that drapes and flows, so they are comfortable for long car rides, flights and warm days.
Which inseam should I choose for my height?
The Short 29" typically fits 5'4" and under, the Regular 32" typically fits 5'5" to 5'8", and the Long 35" typically fits 5'9" and up. Your own inseam matters most, so measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura, our founder, is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and usually wears the Short 29". In our Rae photos she is wearing the Regular 32" with platform heels.
Are the Rae jeans true to size?
The Rae has maximum stretch, so most women size down one from their usual department store size. If you wear a 26 in Levi's, choose a 25 in the Rae. If you wear a 5 in Judy Blue, choose a 5 in the Rae.
What if I'm between sizes?
Size down. The Rae has maximum stretch, so the smaller size gives you a more fitted look that is still comfortable. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too. They will be a bit more fitted.
Will I need to hem the Rae?
Everyone is built a little differently, so measure first. Your inseam runs from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura measures 27.5" and usually wears the Short 29". Many women like a length a little longer than their measurement, especially with shoes.
Are the Rae jeans good for petite and tall women?
Yes. The Rae comes in three inseams: Short 29", Regular 32" and Long 35". Petite women can choose the Short and tall women can choose the Long.
Do the Rae jeans have tummy control?
Yes. A built in hip to hip smoothing panel creates a clean front and supports your midsection while staying flexible and comfortable.
What is the rise of the Rae?
The Rae is a high rise jean that sits above your natural waist. The rise is 11 1/4" in size 3 and 13 1/8" in size 18W.
What sizes does the Rae come in?
Sizes 00 to 15 and curvy sizes 14W to 24W, each in Short 29", Regular 32" and Long 35".
What is the Rae made of?
78% cotton, 15% polyester and 7% spandex, with maximum stretch. Machine wash cold inside out and tumble dry low.
